A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1

Rules

All posts must be showerthoughts
The entire showerthought must be in the title
No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
Posts must be original/unique

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.

I've seen the crazy HR shit from behind the scenes. And it makes sense given what they know and have to work with.

Take my last job for an example. If HR had asked me what sorts of skills I employed, it would be an insane list.

But here's the thing; I wasn't a master of any of those things. I wasn't a pro AD admin, SQL admin, web dev, PS coder, bla, bla, bla.

A lot of what you're answering on a job post or interview is, "Do you have a clue?"

We don't have any sort of central computer admin, no Active Directory kinda identity provider. Google works well enough as an IdP, but I'd never used it that way.

In my interview they asked about Linux central admin and AD. I just said, "Never done it, but I've read a bit and it seems doable. Here's an example of a thing I've heard of, but I've never dug into it."

"OK. That's all I was looking for."

And now I make $80K sitting on my ass at home all day.
